[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 337315, member: 21543"] @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member.php?u=1061"]Browncoat[/URL]......#1,2, and3 are valid....I agree....but come on....not everyone wants to turn the clock back to a retro looking Fuji. I really don't like the look. I am, however, impressed with the shots you posted. Skin tones looked very natural. I'm glad Fuji and Olympus are there (along with Nikon) to give Sony a run for their money. I'm not sure you would have bought into mirrorless right from the start...since it was just beginning to develop into what it is now. I think for anyone getting into photogaphy now, they should seriously consider the mirrorless cameras out there for sure. Top of the line mirrorless is going for close to what I paid for my D610. Quite a bit cheaper than the D810. That only applies to the full frame Sony. I still like my pentaprism viewer better than what Fuji has to offer. It's all a matter of taste. Like I said, just like with 8-tracks, and cassettes, next came Cd's and then DVD's to replace the VCR. The same with cameras...DSLR's will be dinosaurs in a matter of time. I think, IMHO, that it will happen when the tipping point is to the point where the lens choices are even with a mirrorless versus a DSLR lens setup. I think there will be more FF's in the mirrorless realm once that happens since they are cheaper (the bodies). The mirrorless lenses are still pretty steep in price for comparable DSLR lenses. Lets' hope they don't come out with cameras that you use and throw away (like the new smart phones) where you can't change the batteries. That would give me a great big reason to keep my cameras. But as for looks, no, I like the DSLR style just fine. I really, truly, don't like the looks of the Fuiji....but would buy one eventually if they redesigned it with a good viewer. [/QUOTE]
